About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels ® 12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped", remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lbs. (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors and make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching direction. If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels ® Authorized
Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com, or call 1-800-348-0751.
Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen counter top) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels ® 12 volt charger with "12 V" connector (input 120 VAC 60 Hz with an output of 12 VDC,
1200 mA) to charge your Power Wheels ® 12 volt battery.
Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use the charger until the damage has been properly repaired.
Please call 1-800-348-0751.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.

RIDING HAZARD
WARNING
SAFE DRIVING RULES
• Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.
• Never Ride at Night.
These areas must be:
- away from swimming pools and other
bodies of water to prevent drownings
- generally level to prevent tipovers
- away from steps, steep inclines, cars, roads and alleys.
• Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving and riding.
- Always sit on the seat.
- Always wear shoes.
- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.
- Never ride in the cargo bed.
Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have been taught about them. There is no acceptable substitute for direct adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Only 2 (two) riders at a time. A child who is not sitting on the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.
4. Never ride in the cargo bed. Cargo bed weight limit is
25 lbs (11.3 kg).
5. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
6. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).
7. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and have an accident.
Operate the vehicle only in the daytime or a well-lit area.
8. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or slopes.
Restrict your child's driving to areas that are fairly level with gentle inclines or slopes.
9. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
10. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
11. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its side or in an upside-down position.
12. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
13. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without direct adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

VEHICLE CARE
• Check all screws regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to charge the battery at least once per month while your vehicle is not in regular use.
• An extremely dirty vehicle can be rinsed with a hose but avoid spraying directly into switches, motors and battery compartment. Water or moisture in the motors or electrical switches can cause them to corrode, and could cause switch or motor failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand. Sand in the motors or electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth. For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use automotive wax.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order, we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle checked by a
Power Wheels ® authorized service center. For the location of the authorized service center nearest you, please visit us on-line at

PROBLEM
Vehicle does not run
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Undercharged battery
Charger is not working
Tripped thermal fuse
Loose wire or loose connectors
Dead battery
Electrical switch damage
Motor damage
SOLUTION
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the fi rst time. After fi rst-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power fl ow to the wall outlet is “ON”.
There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with your charger, contact your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center. They can test your charger for you.
The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lbs. (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fi xed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels
® authorized service center.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have it tested at your local
Power Wheels ® authorized service center.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.

It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins, carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down.
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
